Packing

I have been madly putting things into my duffel, then taking other things out.
Packing for this trip is not easy. How do you decide what you will need to wear to teach, and what you might want to have for relaxation? In addition I need a light-weight coat for the winter time in Cairo, which is bulky to pack. I need to be mindful of the fact that I will be living and traveling in a country where the culture is very different from my own. Of course, that is the interesting and exciting part of all this. However, it does not make it any easier deciding what to pack. Any and all advice gratefully accepted.

  2. I'm sure you'll have all you need. If not I hear the markets are amazing. Can't wait to see some pictures.
